Hi Steve, The answer to your question resides in ISO 7637-2's title and scope as you've indicated, which specifically intend to have the tests described therein applied to road vehicles.
However, I believe the standard you're probably looking for to apply in an aircraft environment is RTCA DO-160 "Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment". IHTH. Best regards, Ron From: Steve O'Steen [mailto:steve.ost...@acstestlab.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 7:03 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Transient and Surge Test per ISO7637-2 All, I was reviewing Table 2, Immunity Requirements for a DC Powered Device intended for use in commercial Aircraft. This would integrated into the DC power system of the aircraft and not meant to be carried on and off the aircraft. I assume that an aircraft meets the definition of a vehicle so I started down the path of applying the immunity requirements for Radio and ancillary equipment for vehicular use (e.g. mobile equipment). This column requires among other tests, the Transients and Surge Test per ISO7637-2. However ISO 7637-2 is specific in that its scope is limited to Road Vehicles. To confirm, does this mean that although referenced in the product standard, these tests would not apply to vehicles other than road vehicles?
